The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine is in the books, and the last Clemson draft prospect to work out at the combine was Blake Miller.
Miller worked out with his fellow offensive linemen on Sunday as the combine wrapped up at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and Miller — a potential first-round pick — performed well.
The 6-foot-6 ¾, 317-pound tackle ran a 5.04-second 40-yard dash, while recording a 1.75-second 10-yard split, as well as a 32-inch vertical jump and 9-foot-5 broad jump.
CBS Sports handed out combine grades to top offensive line prospects, and Miller earned a solid “B” grade.
“Blake Miller checked the boxes across the board. He performed well in every area, even if he did not dominate anything in particular,” CBS Sports’ Josh Edwards wrote. “Evaluators listed him among the standouts in most workouts, and his jumps were impressive. Clemson has not produced a first-round offensive lineman in the modern era, but Miller has a chance to end that streak.”
NFL Network draft guru and former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah is among those who are high on Miller. Jeremiah ranks him as the No. 24 overall prospect in this year’s draft class.
Jeremiah’s latest mock draft projects Miller to be selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the first round with the No. 23 overall pick.
Miller broke the Clemson record for career snaps from scrimmage, playing 3,778 offensive snaps over 54 career games from 2022-25. A hard-nosed iron man, Miller started every game Clemson played in his entire four-year career and also set the Clemson record for consecutive starts by a non-specialist with 54. He followed his 2022 freshman All-American season with three consecutive All-ACC seasons and joined Mitch Hyatt (four), Jeb Flesch (three) and Tyrone Crowder (three) as the fourth offensive lineman in school history to be a three-time All-ACC honoree.
Meanwhile, Miller’s quarterback at Clemson — Cade Klubnik — showed well at the 2026 NFL Combine, as well.
Klubnik worked out with his fellow QBs at the combine on Saturday, and he received a grade of “A-” from The Sporting News after a strong throwing session.
“Klubnik threw the ball with plenty of zip and was mostly on point with all of his throws,” Vinnie Iyer of The Sporting News wrote. “He’s another experienced college star who leaned on his development through play. He didn’t push himself up near Simpson the way Allar and Nussmeier, but he kept his early-day 3 status alive.”
NFL Network analyst Charles Davis really liked what he saw from Klubnik during his workout, saying Klubnik had a “tremendous day” and reminded people why he was viewed as a potential first-round draft pick pre-2025 season, before seeing his draft stock slip following a disappointing year.
Klubnik is ranked by longtime ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. as the No. 7 quarterback prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft, which is set to take place from April 23-25 in Pittsburgh.
Klubnik spent four seasons at Clemson, including the last three as the Tigers’ starting QB. He passed for 10,123 yards with 73 touchdowns and 24 interceptions during his Clemson career spanning 49 games (40 starts) from 2022-25. He also rushed for 878 yards and 17 touchdowns on 369 carries.
The former five-star prospect finished his Clemson career with 11,001 yards of total offense, becoming the fourth quarterback in school history to reach the 11,000-yard mark. Klubnik leaves Clemson as the school record-holder in pass completions (916) and pass attempts (1,432), third in passing yards (10,123) and fourth in passing touchdowns (73), total touchdown responsibility (90) and yards of total offense (11,001).
CBS Sports also graded the top 25 NFL Draft prospects at the combine, and Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell received an “A-” grade.
The 5-10 ¾, 186-pound Terrell did not run the 40-yard dash at the combine, but recorded a 34-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-3 broad jump.
“Terrell was tough to grade,” CBS Sports’ Mike Renner wrote. “His jumps were unimpressive — a 34-inch vertical and 10-3 broad are both below average for the position. On the flip side, he came in six pounds heavier than listed and measured with very long arms (31 inches) for a sub-5-foot-11 corner.
“Then in the on-field drills, no one could hold a candle to him. I’ll take that over raw testing numbers every day.”
Terrell is frequently projected to be a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Jeremiah currently ranks Terrell as the No. 30 overall prospect in this year’s draft class and the No. 4 corner.
A 2025 All-American and Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist, Terrell was credited with 128 tackles (nine for loss), 30 pass breakups, three interceptions, four sacks, eight forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries across 39 games (31 starts) in his career as a Tiger from 2023-25.
The two-time All-ACC selection set Clemson records for a defensive back in forced fumbles in a season (five in 2025) and a career (eight), and he led all cornerbacks nationally in forced fumbles across his three-year Clemson career.
As a junior in 2025, Terrell tallied 46 tackles (4.5 for loss), a career-high three sacks, 11 pass breakups, five forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 12 games (all starts). He joined Brandon Maye (five in 2009) and T.J. Parker (six in 2024) as the only players in school history to force five fumbles in a single season.
